1. Peel and roughly chop the potatoes. Cook the potatoes in a pot of water on the stove-top until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.

2. In a food processor, immediately add the cooked potatoes (still hot), nut butter, vanilla, and maple syrup. Do not use cold potatoes or the texture will be like mashed potatoes instead of a silky dip. Process until smooth for at least a couple minutes, stopping to scrape down the bowl as necessary. Make sure no clumps remain. You want it super smooth. Adjust sweetness if necessary and add salt to taste.

3. Place mixture in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes (preferably an hour) to chill and then stir in the chocolate chips just before serving. Serve the dip with graham crackers, fresh fruit, cookies, cinnamon sugar pita chips, or my favourite way, a spoon.

Your RESPECT DARE today: God’s word tells us in James to be quick to listen and slow to become angry. THAT is today’s dare. JUST FOR TODAY, don’t argue with your husband about anything. If you think you disagree with him, ask a gentle question for clarity. This is not an exercise in being a door mat, it’s an opportunity to see how self controlled you are. Pray for the Lord to help you in that area today.

Your LOVE DARE today: Ask your spouse to tell you three things that cause her (or him) to be uncomfortable or irritated with you. You must do so without attacking them or justifying your behavior. This is from their perspective only.
